AUTOMOTIVE As of August 2020
-
Automotive sales in the Philippines in the last 5 years have
generally been in an
upward trend. It decreased only between 2017 and 2018, but sales
slightly increased
between 2018 and 2019.
Below is the data of the related industries from the 2017 Annual
Survey of Philippine
Business and Industry (ASPBI) in the Wholesale and Retail Trade;
Repair of Motor
Vehicles and Motorcycles.
Below is the data of the related industries from the 2017 Annual
Survey of Philippine
Business and Industry (ASPBI) in the Manufacturing Sector.
BACKGROUND
-
The growing trend in automotive sales is something that the
Philippines can capitalize as an opportunity to increase its
manufacturing capability, and thereby increase the
Philippines’
participation in the automotive global value chain. For this
anticipated growth, there will be demand for additional people
at
all skill levels, starting from workers, technicians, engineers,
and
managers.
Kia Philippines President Manny Aligada estimates that car sales
in the Philippines
will “normalize” by November this year, which means that car
sales volume will be
at 35,000 units per month in November and December 2020, and
that the “best
case” scenario is 275,000 units of car sales.1
The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed car manufacturers to innovate
in reaching
customers through the use of digital tools in their dealerships.
An example is Toyota
Motor Philippines (TMP) which introduced digital tools for
service maintenance
booking and an online car showroom. Honda Cars Philippines also
plans to launch
an online dealership platform.2

• Of the 37 qualifications in the automotive and land transport
sector, only 14
qualifications have registered programs. These are also the
programs that have
some form of utilization because these programs have enrollment
and graduates,
and that there are people who take assessment and are certified
for these programs.
Programs with the highest subscription are focused on servicing
and driving.
• Data indicates that there are no registered programs on
automotive manufacturing
TRs. Likewise, the programs do not have assessors/. However,
some of three
programs are identified as necessary for the sector. TESDA
should look into
addressing the need to establish the infrastructure of these
programs. One of the
possible means of addressing it is the engagement of the
enterprises in the conduct
of the program as they have the capacity to implement those
types of programs.
The review of existing TR should also be done together with the
industry to further
validate the competencies covered in the standards.
• TESDA should consider the identified required competencies of
the industry in the
review, and even in the development of new training programs for
the industry,
especially for the qualifications identified as emerging
qualifications.
